The annual event will take place over two days on Saturday June 10th and Sunday June 11th at Veteran’s Park in Shelton.
Directors Nicole Heriot-Mikula, Joe Mango and Derek
Signore unveil a lineup that follows the contour of previous festivals
celebrating the best in local talent to match national acts otherwise reserved
for ticketed events. New for 2017, Ska and Reggae Legends The Skatalites and
Electrofunk powerhouse Particle co-headline the main stage with newcomers
Sophistafunk and American Idol’s Elise Testone. Also returning is favorite Ryan
Montbleau with his new ensemble, Yes, Darling featuring Hayley Jane. Also
sharing top billing are local mainstays, The Alpaca Gnomes and Bella’s Bartok,
both returning to this year’s festival.
Established in 2010, Soupstock Music & Arts
Festival has grown organically into one of Connecticut’s leading independent
arts and music events. The festival has earned its reputation by attracting
premier talent across all mediums to provide a landscape meant to please all
the senses.
The festival’s mixture of arts, cuisine and culture
means there is something for everyone. Our Vendor Village will have over 30
handmade artisans and non-profit organizations and the Kids Zone will be better
than ever, providing a safe interactive environment for children of all ages
with two major highlights this year: One World Puppetry and Creation Song
Project. Our Annual Pro/Am Soup& Chili Cook-Off round out the event to make
it extra delicious!
Proceeds will benefit the Mary A. Schmecker Turtle
Shell Fund, furthering Art, Craft and Music Education for children and young
adults.
